Fort McMurray Root canal therapy is needed when the nerve of a tooth is affected by infection or decay. The most common reasons for a tooth becoming compromised is due to an untreated crack or fracture, a deep cavity, or an injury to the tooth. To save the tooth from extraction, the pulp (the living tissue inside the tooth), nerves, bacteria, and any decay are removed, and the resulting space is filled with special medicated dental materials that restore the tooth to its full function. An injured tooth that is left untreated can lead to extreme pain, a dental abscess, or possible tooth loss.

A root canal is the treatment of choice to save a tooth that otherwise would die and have to be removed. Patients often believe that removing a problematic tooth is the only solution, but that is not always the case; extracting (or pulling) a tooth will often be more costly and can cause significant problems for adjacent teeth. Fort McMurray Root canal Therapy is highly successful and usually lasts a lifetime, although occasionally a tooth will have to be re-treated due to new infections.
